Bill Berkeley is an editor for the New York Times and has traveled through some of the most unstable parts of Africa including Rwanda. He wrote a book called The Graves Are Not Yet Full: Race, Tribe and Power in the Heart of Africa about how the problems for the nations came about, focusing on the key leaders and their roles in the problems. He is also a Fellow at the World Policy Institute of the New School for Social Research in New York City which, according to their website, attempts to achieve “an inclusive and sustainable global market economy, engaged global civic participation and effective governance, and collaborative approaches to national and global security.” This source will be valuable to my research because it has first hand accounts of Rwanda during the period of conflict and talks about the history and events leading up to the genocide.
This article was written by the Fondation Hirondelle which is a Swiss organization of humanitarian aid professionals and journalists. It releases credible, non bias information. They have five radio stations on which they broadcast fact based information about areas of the world involved in conflict. This article was published by allAfrica which publishes news from 130 African news organizations. They have six operating offices, including one in Washington, DC. This is valuable to my research because it deals with the current issues involving Rwanda and the public’s reaction toward them.
Timothy Longman is a professor at Boston University where he is the director of the African Studies Center. He studied in Rwanda in 1992, 1993, 1995, and 1996 and wrote a book, Commanded by the Devil: Christianity and Genocide in Rwanda based on his studies in Rwanda. His novel highlights the involvement of churches in the Rwandan genocide. Longman’s areas of specialization include Politics of Race and Ethnicity, Democratization, Religion and Politics, and Women and Politics. He has taught at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa as well as at the National University of Rwanda. Also, Longman has served as a consultant for the State Department in Rwanda. This is good for research because it gives good background into the culture and the daily functions in Rwanda.
